About the Item
Title: Tinted Lithograph of Ravines in the Bed of the Ancient Lake, 1856
Description:
This captivating lithograph, "Ravines in the Bed of the Ancient Lake," depicts the dramatic erosion patterns and geological formations left behind by a vanished lake in the American West. Derived from a sketch by Charles Koppel and lithographed by A. Hoen & Co., this print showcases the rugged beauty of the ravines with precise details, offering a glimpse into the region’s geological history.
Produced as Geology Plate IX in the Pacific Railroad Survey reports of 1856, this lithograph served to document the landscape encountered during the monumental exploration for feasible transcontinental railroad routes. The inclusion of human figures and their horses in the foreground provides a sense of scale, emphasizing the grandeur and isolation of the terrain.
Tinted lithography, with its use of delicate shading and muted tones, brings life to the scene, highlighting the stark contrast between the dark rocks and the pale ravines. This print stands as both a scientific record and an artistic achievement, blending the accuracy of topographical survey with the aesthetic sensibilities of 19th-century landscape art.
Condition: Excellent, with minor age-related toning at the margins. The image remains crisp and vibrant.
Framing Tip: Use a neutral matte in cream or light gray to complement the natural tones of the lithograph. Pair with a dark wooden or metallic frame to create an elegant display that emphasizes the dramatic contours of the ravines. Ideal for collectors of historical prints, geology enthusiasts, or as a unique piece of wall art for a study or library.
